He's the actor/musician who appears as the lead singer in the FREE-CREDIT-REPORT-DOT-COM commercials. He is lip-synching the lyrics because he's French Canadian and has an accent though he speaks English fluently. Additional information. The "band" in the commercial doesn't exist. It is simply a group of actor/musicians who were put together by a casting director. However, all of the young men are real musicians and each has their own band in Canada. Beware: There are some imposter sites on Facebook who impersonate the actors and one which claims to be the official site of the Freecreditreport.com band. The "official site of the FreeCreditReport.com band" on FaceBook is sponsored by the FreeCreditReport company, so it's a commercial site. The actors in the commercials have no connection with that site and do not participate in any of the postings. Eric Violette, the frontman for the "band", has formed his own group "God Against God" and is in the process of recording his first CD. Mario Telaro, the drummer, plays with "Engines of Peace" and "White Hounds", and has recently plays with "Tone Signal." Vince Charron, the bass player, is a professional musician and also plays in the Montreal area.
